    They're really steps, but Avid sells the parts to convert them. Everything is the same as a good quality slider except the attachment I can now lift my truck from the slider with a hilift image.jpg

    I have the same ones. It's a good start.

    I am now going to weld channel steel between the bars and fabricated bolt-on L-brackets to the truck frame.

    = sliders

    Before you work too hard, Avid will sell you the parts cheap.

    I don't think it was over $40. It was a number that stunned me. You'll see the pieces in this pic. Just hit them with undercoating. image.jpg

    I just crawled under my truck for this. It's got a little road grease on it.

    Weve found that there are many different types of customers that we help. Some like the slider look with the 1 3/4 tubing over the tube steps but really only need it as a step. Which is fine for a great deal of Tacoma owners.

    We also have the weld on slider group that want a kickout and the ability to rest the weight of the truck on them and have them as armor to save panels.

    Regardless, we are happy to help any customers to the best of our ability.

    Please send me a PM with any questions and I can get you a quote on converting the sliders.


    Thank you.

    We have duplicate threads from a customer that is good info. Do you have it in your power to consolidate the threads down to one under our vendor page?

    Thank you sir!

    I like the look/style of them but more apt to go with something that bolts to the frame. I am not at my truck now but how do you bolt these to the 'rocker'? Do you have to go inside the truck and put a washer/bolt through existing holes? (hope you don't have to drill)

    TRD Sport ; future additions of sliders, folding bed cover.
    I recently installed the Avid bolt-on rails on my 2016 Tacoma access cab ; I am experiencing extra road noise in cab at higher speeds; Toyota won't make any corrections until I remove them ; wondering if it's being caused by rails anybody else noticing this ? Thanks John

    I doubt it's the rails, but removing them is easy. Only 6 bolts per side and they come right off.
